GNU Hackers' Meeting, March 18th-21st, Cambridge, MA, USA

The FSF will be hosting the US's first GNU Hackers' Meeting
on March 18th-21st, 2010, simultaneous with our larger
LibrePlanet conference in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The GNU Hackers' Meetings are informal meetings for GNU
maintainers and active contributors. This meeting will
feature:

  * An introductory social event on the evening of the 18th.

  * A full day of GNU presentations, discussion, and hacking
    on the 19th.

  * Two days of events integrated with the LibrePlanet
    conference on the 20th and 21st, including opportunities
    for maintainers and developers to give talks on their
    projects to attendees.

This meeting follows in the footsteps of three previous
successful European meetings (see <http://www.gnu.org/ghm/>
for a history). They've been a great way for GNU hackers to
meet each other, get productive work done, and generate new
ideas for how to improve the overall project.

GNU maintainers and active developers can attend both the
GNU Hackers' Meeting and the rest of LibrePlanet at no
charge, but RSVPs are requested. The easiest way to RSVP for
the events is to add your name to both
<http://groups.fsf.org/wiki/LibrePlanet2010> and
<http://groups.fsf.org/wiki/LibrePlanet2010/GNUHackersMeeting>.
If you'd rather that info not be public, you can also RSVP
by email to <membership AT fsf.org>.

As GNU developers, your work is invaluable. If in addition
to programming skills you have some financial resources, we
hope you will support this event and the rest of the work
the FSF does for the GNU Project by becoming a $120/year
member at <http://fsf.org/join>.

Please subscribe to the mailing list at
<http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/ghm-discuss> to
discuss possible agendas, and to the RSS feed at
<http://savannah.gnu.org/news/atom.php?group=ghm> to receive
announcements.

Looking forward to seeing all of you in Cambridge, and happy
hacking!
